"Desidero ringraziarla per le ottime pagine e la notevole sequenza di urls ragionati nonche' indicazioni bibliografiche assai interessanti che ha voluto far circolare in rete.

"Your e-mails are so rich with links and connections that they leave me completely stunned and I just run my eye through the addresses and titles in a sort of osmotic absorption process - like I did with all the books I used to buy and never read." Dr.Hugh Laue, Johannesbureg. 28^th October 1999

"I was driving to-day and realised that you make the perfect 'person portal' or better yet 'personal portal'. Hell, you only thrive with information. I am sure there are no others like you. I would never have predicted that the global revolution would be SUCH a medium for you astute knowledge. As usual, you are a mindboggle. Bless you, bless my Millennium Calendar." Rodney Barnett, Johannesburg. 28 Oct 1999

"Thanks you once again for your inspiration and wise words. Have you read any of Anthony Stevens's books on Jung? He makes interesting connections between Jung's ideas and the new trends in evolutionary biology." Terry Volbrecht, Cape Town. 21^st October 1999

"Keep it up, we appreciate it Samten…" writes Ellen Kitonga from Nairobi: "No, we realize you can't personalize unless we ask a question, but we apprciate your encyclopedic surveys. Perhaps 25% is of interest to any one of us, but that 25% overlaps, and we share with friends and other organizations." "Hope you got my last note of support. I'm so happy for you, and appreciative of your efforts -- real sympathetic joy." Ellen Kitonga, Nairobi, 8 Oct 1999.

"Thanks for sending me all the writing, but I must be honest: I don't really relate at that level, as you know, and I absolutely don't have time to plough through long messages at work. So perhaps you should remove me from that list; though I'd love to know that I still have direct contact with you. " Morna Cornell, Johannesburg. 19^th October 1999.

"Your news letter moves beyond the addresses, it reaches the Many by means of passing it on. God knows how many see it. Ed and I, in Arizona, and Mike in Paris, carry the message. So glad we have you, leading the Way, Stay in good health. The Shadowcatcher - Love - Freeman. Arizona. 8 Oct 1999."

I came across this local artist recently and thought you might be interested. The web site is http://mbury.new.co.za/~dreem/

Thanks for the newsletters, there are some very interesting articles. I have given some to Vonnie to read. Gavin Lawson.

23^rd August 1999. I came across this local artist recently and thought you might be interested. Thanks for the newsletters, there are some very interesting articles. I have given some to Vonnie to read. Another concept which is interesting is this idealistic society ARCOSANTI in the States. They are looking at life from a wholistic way.Cheers,

21st March 1999. Great work on webpage! Keep me on mailing list. Sorry to be missing "Samothrace Lecture" -- please consider posting notes/text someday. Omar Scott Davis. Home: | "Natural Magick": | Islam: | "Dustfall" by S.L. Davis.

21st March 1999. I am just back from London, where I sorted out the last details of the Hyp. edition at Thames & Hudson. It will be out in October, they hope. I don't know how you keep so many balls in the air at once! But keep it up. Joscelyn Godwin.

21st March 1999. How extraordinary (but yet predictable in the new science) to think of you today and then receive an e-mail ... I had the most wonderful experience last week in visiting Acacia Park Primary in Parkwood to visit an excellent new food garden, wearing my Peninsula School Feeding Association hat. There is so much promise in this venture, and a great and visionary headmaster to boot. When I saw Jeunesse's name on your yakkity-yak section I just had to ask her - through you - whether there was any reputable tree-planting group in Cape Town, because this vast barren wasteland on the edge of larnie Plumstead really needs trees - nice indigenous ones that don't gobble water. The community dreams of a park where people can come to take wedding photos, like they do in Arderne Gardens in Claremont. Hey, Jeunesse, come dig it, man!

Mike Kantey. March 1999

Also Lance Bloch, what a quiet clever fellow - hey Lance, remember me? I used to date one of the Wengrowe meisies. What are you up to? Tell all, lad, tell all. Are you also a Kerenyi- Campbell-Hillman supporter, of wat is jy nou eintlik?

Sam - I have a new vision of your manifold services: networking the networks - put everyone in one giant bath and pull out the plug! Don't forget those little shiny soap thingies ... Love and all the rest of that touchy-feely shit. Mike Kantey, Cape Town

hallo samten

I saw Heleniq in the week and believe that you are still quite sick! Just want you to know that you are in my thoughts.....and I really hope that you will get well soon. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything....medicine or any other supplies delivered...I mean it! I see you send me an e-mail, unfortunately something went wrong when it was send and I am not able to off load it.. so if you could send it again - please. My friend Patrys ( that also attended the evening at Fiddlewoods) gave me an article that she downloaded from the net to give to you on androdgeny. I'll pass it on when we see each other again. Till we speak again - greetings

===============================

21st March 1999. Hello Sam-Ten, Sounds like an interesting Web-site, I like your name, and anyone who has been a Ballerina even in his last life, has captured my attention, I am not an accademic, I learned my craft the hard way, I lived it. I know a few things, and have been around the block a couple of times, so if I can contribute in any way to your web-site, let me know what, when & where. Regards - Shadowcatcher

Freeman Newhall

================

20th March 1999. Dear Samten, Your website and the book sound intriguing. When and where can we get the book? I'd like to join the forum, particularly in the cross-cultural alchemical aspect. I'm working on my thesis in Hispanic Literature (in Spanish) at California State University Sacramento. Alchemy is the central theme. Thank you and best wishes.

Catherine Fox-Anderson

=================================

24.03.1999. Thanx for all the fascinating and inspiring information… for all the nurturing and guidance. Its not always easy to share and show how much it is worth to me, but I hope that I can do my little bit to support the continuation of this important work. Jeanne Smuts, Cape Town.

============================

"Thanks once again for your enchanting news that makes the Web seem like Indra's Net! Question: Do you know anything about myths or legends about the Black Lotus? Terry Volbrecht, Cape Town. 23.03.1999

23.03.1999. Dear Samten, Ta, enjoyed reading your newsletter as usual. Check this book out some time: Swimme, Brian and Thomas Berry (1992) The Universe Story: From The Primordial Flaring Forth To The Ecozoic Era - A Celebration of The Unfolding Of The Cosmos. [1994 Penguin Edition] Cheers. Dr Manton Hirst, Stuttertheim.

20.03 1999. Yet again, we really appreciate your efforts, though we are not keen on all the topics." Ellen Kitonga, Nairobi.

"Thanks for the Hypnerotomachia Hypnero. update. Your idea for the cross-cultural web site sounds most exciting! I shall be racking my brains to think of ideas...." Anita Craig, Cape Town. 17.03.1999

"Many thanks for the latest update of that wonderful world of cyber-arcana that you seem to spend increasingly so much time exploring." Jonathon Frost, Johannesburg. 23.02.1999

_____________________________________

"I am quite concerned about your insistence on cyberculture, despite its allure and obvious benefits to people like you and me. I know this is teaching you to suck eggs, but I hope you persevere in your efforts to place works of importance in print - such as "Lady of Realisation". I also believe that a lot of people are very hungry for spiritual wisdom and we must not fail to feed them.

Now I believe the Net is great for shepherds, but we must not forget the sheep in our thirst for better crooks and better-bred collies. Print production and distribution remains a priority, and I have dedicated my life to that service.

I am now in a financial position (I think) to increase the range and number of productions, so let me know what you would like to do. " Michael Kantey, Cape Town. 17th February 1999

I think that it is extremely rude of many friends - to send their answers on the back of the previous newsletter or emailing. It puts me in the position, of when I want to cut and paste my correspondence for storage and archival purposes - of having to scroll downwards to cut out all the previous material. This takes time, when dealing with hundreds of emails - and I think it is not kosher! The correct manners would be to click on REPLY TO AUTHOR or CTRL+R - then to click EDIT - then SELECT ALL - then DELETE. That will clear all of the previous message and give you a clean white window - addressed to the author and ready to go. It takes a few seconds - and it feels good to start with a fresh page.

After all, it is tantamount to writing a letter to a friend on the back of the letter that your received and posting that. Please consider this small act of etiquette. Or Netiquette.

I am working towards setting up a discussion Group on the History of the Tarot on the Web - You can help by joining, if you are interested, at Email: [email protected]

01.February.1999. "Thanks for the continuing missives. You've probably already hit all the important alchemical links but this one, http://www.hermetic.com/stavish/ , was recommended on a Spirit Web forum and since it's focus is Fire it could be of interest. I haven't even looked at it myself." Dr. Hugh Laue, Johannesburg.

31.January 1990. "Nice to see you spotted Marcella... She's interesting. Also very pleasant. Have a look at the following (you might also like to join the group - there are some AMAZING people on it): The JUNG CIRCLE I have always assumed that you were aware of my thanks... Perhaps presumptuously... Lots of love. Michael Dickman, Paris

"Just to say a very belated thanks for putting me on your emailing list. It has been a long time since I first contacted you, but I have found the links to sites and the material you have sent to me VERY VERY absorbing." Joanne Taylor, Knysna.

Thanks for your, as usual, extremely intriguing news. Thanks for your latest feast of interesting internet recommendations. Terry Volbrecht.

"…a big thanx for all the 'massages' the om mani padme hung is totally glorious and can't wait to visit some of the other sites." Glenda Hutchinson, Johannesburg

The info is great, and will be shared with Theosophists, Sangha, other spiritual friends. " Ellen Kitong, Nairobi

"Samten, all your communications are a joy to receive, your enthuisiasm and vibrance always leap off the pages to me." Dave Culhane, Dublin.

"Had a chance to read some of your earlier mailings as well. Had the idea that you should look into setting up a *proper* mailing list (using a list server like majordomo). You'd need a host to run it but then messages could go back and forth and there can be an active community discussing the issues instead of a one-way mail shot. Maybe one of the big sites would be interested in helping you …" Paul Rossouw, London.

"Have just published a smallish site at - http://www.cope.co.za/intercon/inter1.htm

Please have a look & let me know..." Mike Cope.

"Hope everything is fine with you and the FOUR ELEMENTS class is going well. First page of my website is up at - http://members.aol.com/eswiz/Holegame.html I will link to my other pages through the images on the page with an image map. Am starting work on them. Would appreciate any comments."

"I am very impressed with "Uroboros" and its rich material about the Goddess. What about "Sacrifice" as a theme for Uroboros? Looking foreward to your next Alchemy edition." Monika von Molkte, Johannesburg.

"Loved every bit of the Goddess. I think my "Uroboros" was removed from my desk, hope the person who gets all the information on the Goddess becomes a drop more enlightened. " Gail Meneses, East London.

"Thank you also for including me in your mailing-list. I'm looking forward to looking up all the URL's you quoted. Your reference to the Archetypal Fool particularly jumped out at me, because of a book I'm currently reading, which deals with the alchemical path of The Way Of The Fool. " Marcella Gillick, Dublin

"Thanks for the copy of "The Serpent Lineage". Very interesting and well written. Will put it in my library. Makes me wish I was there for your classes. Best of luck to you in the new classes. Did I hear you say that transcripts of your FOUR ELEMENTS class are available? If they are, I am interested. Thanks again for all the great URL's. ( I especially liked the Jung site ) - Ed. [Samten note: Ed's reference to The Serpent Lineage, is to a text that was published in 1986 - that I have been Emailing out to intereted parties as an archival curiosity.] Here are some that may interest you:
